Looking for an alternative to Backblaze Computer Backup?Compare IDrive, IBackup, Acronis True Image.Compare alternativesBackblaze Computer Backup focuses on continuously securing a computer to the cloud. You install the client and check which files and drives are taken. It's a paid backup subscription, not a common shared cloud directory like a synchronization service.
System components, exclusions and retention periods have their own rules. Mainly check external drives and how long deleted files remain available. Recovery can take time due to the amount of data and download speed.
Compare Backblaze Computer Backup with alternatives
With an online backup service, you can compare which computers and external drives are included, how long deleted files are stored and how you get back a lot of data. Storage only says little about recovery ease. Also check the role of your own encryption key and what happens when you lose it.

Our verdict
Backblaze Computer Backup is especially suitable if you want an external copy without managing a storage server or scripts yourself. The automatic approach reduces the amount of daily work. You need to know exactly what's being taken and what's outside the backup.
After the first round check a few important folders through the recovery environment. Pay extra attention to external drives and deleted files, as storage policies play a role there. A second local backup will be useful for a quick local backup. As part of a plan with a copy outside the house, Backblaze can perform a clear function.
